<p>[QUOTE="sabre123, post: 494118, member: 8258"]Well, that's another part of the problem, Holly. I live in northeast Ohio. Rock specimens are kind of out. But since this area was under a shallow sea millions of years ago, there are a lot of marine fossils. Actually, to my west, there is a town called Sylvania. They have Silica Shale cliffs from the Devonian Period. They used to have a "fossil park" where they would put piles of that shale out for people to pick through.</p><p><br /></p><p>Took the family there years ago and the piles were a disappointment. As we were leaving, I decided to explore around the parking area and found a lot of decent specimens. A couple of small trilobites, horn coral, and many others. So, all in all, it was a great day![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
